Description of my issue:

Hello,

I am curious if there is a method for changing Akeeba backup configurations on multiple sites at once. We have 100+ sites using Akeeba and once in awhile we learn new ways to finely tune our configurations (as an example we are looking to have all our sites backup to Google Drive instead of Amazon S3). The process for logging into each site individually to update settings in tiresome. Perhaps there is a configurations.ini file we could configure and upload to each of our sites? Any suggestions you have for minimizing the time spent logging into each site individually will be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello,

Akeeba Backup offers the ability to export/import your profiles.
You can edit your profile with the new settings, export it and then import it into your new site.
Since the configuration is saved in the database (and in 90% of cases it's encrypted to protect your access details) you can't simply upload a file, but you have to manually login inside your Akeeba Backup installation and import the profile.
